TRUE BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN

Becoming beautiful inside is what radiates beauty evergreen.

This means looking at ourselves as people and reflecting what makes us who we are. Remember the world does not owe us a living, we are what we ourselves have created. Ask yourself, "Do I like who I am?" "Am I a good person?" When you give "of" yourself and start loving people in a unconditional way, liking them without being judgmental you begin to radiate beauty from within, you radiate it from your soul. It is through this you will achieve "Inner Beauty".

TIRED ALL THE TIME?

Feeling Tired All The Time, is a very common problem and there are many causes, especially stress (I have a stress section on this site) poor diet, lack of exercise, not enough fluids, depression, medication, sleep apnoea and physical causes such as diabetes, however a third of patients presenting this symptom no obvious cause can be found. The article below is from the Daily Mail.

Feeling TATTered? (that's Tired All The Time): As one in five say they always feel drained, our experts share their fatigue fighting tips - sorry about the nightly wine

How to beat the constant fatigue affecting one in five Britons

Are you tired all the time? It’s a symptom so common it even has a handy acronym – TATT – used by doctors on medical notes.

One in five Britons say they are, according to NHS figures, with one in ten suffering long-term problems. Yet just a third of these will have anything physically wrong with them, making it a tricky problem to tackle.

Although causes such as hormonal problems or vitamin deficiencies must be ruled out by blood tests, once this is done, what is left to try?

In tatters: One in five Britons feel tired 'all the time' and 10 per cent suffer from long-term problems, according to the NHS

We know that burning the candle at both ends can leave you feeling drained, but there are scientifically proven ways to beat the slump.

Here, experts reveal their favourite methods, from cutting out a nightly tipple to limiting time spent on your laptop.

The amount of fluid needed depends on the individual, but you should aim to pass urine at least three times a day. Between six and eight glasses of water-based drinks – including tea and coffee – a day are recommended.

‘Coffee is often vilified but the caffeic acid it contains is a great way to instantly increase alertness and blood pressure,’ says Collins.

DON’T have a nightly glass of wine

More than half of us reach for a glass of wine between three to four times a week to relax after a hectic day.

While alcohol relaxes you initially, it can compromise the quality of sleep – even if you are getting the recommended seven to eight hours per night.

‘Magnesium plays a vital role in maintaining blood glucose levels, muscle health and concentration,’ says nutritional therapist Dr Elisabeth Philipps. ‘A deficiency can leave you feeling lethargic.’ Magnesium is found in leafy vegetables and nuts, but a supplement can help. Take between 200mg and 400mg a day. Try Nature’s Best Magasorb (120 tabs, £11.50; naturesbest.co.uk).

DON’T become deficient in B vitamins

A supply of all eight B vitamins is essential for feeling energised. ‘Vitamins B1, B3, B5 and B6 are crucial for the conversion of food into energy,’ says Dr Philipps.

A nap can take the edge off an afternoon slump, but the duration of a siesta is crucial.

‘It has been clinically proven that taking a nap for up to 30 minutes is revitalising,’ says Dr Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre.

We tend to enter deep sleep after 30 minutes, which lasts for a further half an hour, so waking mid-cycle can leave you feeling groggy. If you want to nap for longer, have one lasting 90 minutes.

DON’T throw yourself back into action immediately

Allow 15 minutes to wake up after a nap. ‘Everyone suffers with what we call sleep inertia after a nap – sometimes a person can seem drunk,’ says Dr Idzikowski. ‘You need to give your brain time to recover and regain composure.’

It isn’t fully understood why napping is beneficial, but it is thought that it gives the brain a chance to pause and rest.

NO GRAINS, NO GAINS

DO eat low-GI foods

Choosing unprocessed foods with a low glycaemic index (GI) will maintain steady energy levels, says Dr Philipps: ‘Choose slow-burning wholegrains, brown rice and wholemeal bread in your diet but don’t overfill your plate. Digestion uses up a lot of energy so the more packed the plate, the more tired you will feel. This is particularly the case with carbohydrates because glucose triggers the production of the hormone serotonin, which can make you sleepy.’

Healthy sarnie: Use wholegrain bread with slow carbohydrates, but do not forget to add protein such as chicken or lean turkey

DON’T forget to include protein

Ensuring you get adequate levels of protein – about 50g per day – will fight fatigue. ‘Protein slows the speed at which carbohydrates are absorbed, so there will be a steady drip-feed of glucose into your bloodstream,’ says Dr Philipps. Protein helps produce mood and energy-boosting hormones, too.

GET IN THE LIGHT MOOD

DO get enough daylight

Winter is when many people feel at their most listless because daylight hours are at a minimum, which has a knock-on effect on our body clock.

‘Nerve cells called retinal ganglion receptors at the back of the eye are responsible for detecting light,’ says Russell Foster, Professor of Circadian Neuroscience at Oxford University.

‘If we don’t get enough, our bodies produce too much melatonin, the hormone responsible for making us feel sleepy.’

Even at dawn, daylight is up to 100 times stronger than the lighting at home and in the workplace.

Yet most of us get little, if any, daylight at this time of year – we travel to and from work in the dark and spend the majority of our time indoors at a desk. ‘Take a 30-minute stroll each day or move your desk near a window to increase light exposure and keep your inner clock in check,’ says Prof Foster.

DON’T get too much blue light

Studies have shown that those who sit at laptops and in front of the TV late at night find it harder to drop off because the blue light emitted suppresses melatonin production.

In the evening, dim your laptop light setting and try to stop watching TV one or two hours before bed. If you can’t switch off the PC, try downloading F.lux software for free (stereopsis.com). It adapts the colour of the light emitted from your laptop according to the time of day.

In and out: Learning how to breathe correctly and practice breathing exercises can perk you up

BREATHE EASY

DO breathing exercises

Believe it or not, most people don’t breathe correctly and this can contribute to a feeling of lethargy, says respiratory physiotherapist Alex Hough. The following exercise helps reset your breathing pattern. By using the diaphragm – the muscle that inflates and deflates the lungs – you inhale and exhale more efficiently.- Consciously relax your jaw, throat, shoulders and upper chest.

- Breathe in through the nose. Allow the air to glide down your windpipe as if it’s filling your abdomen. Your tummy – not your chest – should rise gently like a balloon filling with air. It might help to place a hand on your abdomen to monitor movement.

- As you exhale, let your abdomen sink gently like a balloon deflating.

- You should be breathing 12 to 14 times a minute. If you breathe more frequently than this, gently slow your inhalations and exhalations.

- Try this exercise twice a day for a few minutes at a time. You should find yourself feeling more energised and less stressed.

DON’T panic

‘Modern life is stressful, which can make us fall into the habit of shallow breathing,’ says Hough. ‘Shallow breathing makes the body work much harder to get the air it needs.’

Indeed, key symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder – which affects about one in 20 Britons – are feeling tired, shortness of breath and a disrupted sleep pattern.

If blood tests have ruled out any deficiency or imbalance, then explaining to your GP that you are stressed could help address your lack of vitality. Treatment usually involves Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and medications to help keep symptoms under control.

Hurrah! Chocolate is an excellent quick fix for tiredness - but in order to get the right effect go for the dark stuff

QUICK FIXES

If you suffer from mid-afternoon inertia but don’t want to glug a double espresso to get you through the rest of the day, there are alternative pick-me-ups that have been proven to work.

SNIFF HERBS

Numerous studies have shown that sniffing mint is effective in boosting alertness. A 2005 study reported that volunteers in a darkened room were less likely to fall asleep if they smelled peppermint.

‘Our sense of smell is very powerful and certain scents stimulate the olfactory nerve in the nose more than others,’ says Atkinson. ‘While mint has the most evidence behind it, essential oils of eucalyptus, basil and rosemary have a similar effect. Sniffing these is a great way to pep yourself up.’

NIBBLE ON DARK CHOCOLATE

Chocolate contains the stimulant theobromine. ‘The chemical is almost identical to caffeine but has a more measured effect on the central nervous system,’ says Dr Philipps. You will need to eat dark chocolate though.

‘The concentration of theobromine is much lower in milk chocolate – about a tenth – so you won’t get the same effect.

‘If you do, it will be because of the high sugar content, which will leave you sleepier than before,’ says Dr Philipps.

STRETCHING

A quick stretch can perk you up, says Steve Hunter, of Sport and Exercise Science at London Southbank University. ‘If we sit still at a desk all day, our bodies start to slow down. Stretching limbs stimulates neurons inside our muscles, which send signals to the brain to wake us.’

The Journey to Spirit: A Guide to Psychic Development and Spiritual and Inspirational Philosophy Paperback

Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1470197693ISBN-13: 978-1470197698If you are curious and especially if its all new to you and if you are thinking about developing your psychic ability.

THE JOURNEY TO SPIRITA psychic development book. I decided to write this book as everyone has a psychic ability. We are all born with it but so seldom do we use it to its best ability. It originated as part of our survival mechanism to help keep us safe and out of danger, but through the centuries that have gone by most of us have allowed this great resource to lie latent. Animals still use theirs to their best ability; they've had no one to tell them not to use it. It's neither fearful, nor creepy but another sense bestowed upon us we've allowed to lie dormant. I also want to dispel the myths and misconceptions about Psychics and Mediums.

Amazing read and was engrossed until I finished reading this bookAmazing read and was engrossed until I finished reading, this book is more than a novel it helps understand the psychic's world and has such depth of feelingsStella Matthews

TALES OF THE SEA

This collection of poetry is split into two sections: In “TALES OF THE SEA ~ A LOVE STORY IN VERSE” I have used the analogy of the sea to describe a love story. It really does not matter if the characters are somewhat strange, the emotions felt are just the same. The rest of this collection “A PORTRAIT OF LOVE” comprises of mainly love and inspirational poetry, much of which I channel from Spirit, exploring all aspects of love. Many too explore the philosophy of life and are designed to uplift and challenge the reader into looking at life and love from a different point of view. I have written these verses from the heart and I hope they will touch yoursCLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS

This book is for those, who are about to fall in love, for those who are deeply in love, those who were in love, lost loves and those who always will be and for the deepest love of all “Soul mates”. It is for those who cannot find the words to express how they feel, for all the love letters as yet to be written.

PSYCHIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE TO FORECAST THE FUTURE AND OTHER QUESTIONS?

I am often asked various questions pertaining to the spirit world and various aspects of the psychic, here are some of them:

I will in time feature more questions and answers as this webpage evolves

Q. Is a psychic or medium a fortune teller?

A. It may surprise you to know psychics and mediums are not fortune tellers

Q. Is it possible to forecast the future?

A.Well not 100% and this is because of free will.

Q. What is free will?

A. Free will is YOUR right to decide what you want to do about a situation, it is a choice

Q. How does free will affect a situation?

A. Well before we incarnate as Spirit in a human body, we decide on what experiences and challenges that will benefit our spiritual growth. However we are given the choice (free will) as to whether we go through with the experience or challenge. In effect we are allowed to change or mind.

Q. So are you saying we all know what lies before us?

A. Well in a way we all do. Remember we are 'Spirit' in a human body and your spirit does retain a memory but it is deep in our subconscious. This memory is retained deeply for a reason to help us fulfill our experiences and challenges we ourselves chose. However it is also at this deep level so we are not so aware. If you knew what lay before you would you go through with it? Probably not but we still retain this memory deeply and this reflects in our Aura.

Q. So what is the Aura?

A.The aura is The Aura is an electromagnetic field that surrounds living bodies, this includes people, animals, plants and crystals and is composed of several layers that are constantly moving. The Aura links us to whats known as Universal energy i.e. that is all the knowledge in the Universe past, present and future. It is on this aura that psychics are able to tap into and access your past, whats going on in the present and the possible future and I say possible specifically if your goal or desire is dependent on other people, for remember every person involved in a situation has free will

ASTRID'S QUOTES

ABOUT THIS BLOG: "ASTRIDESTELLA.INFO" and Making the most of YOU

As the blog evolves I shall be adding posts that equally apply to both men and women.

This blog is about making the most of what nature has bestowed on us and how to achieve well-being and beauty within ourselves, inside and out.

In this blog I shall explore how we can achieve inner harmony for unless we feel good about ourselves how can we pass that on to others. Stress is the main cause of ill health in the western world, not only does it rob ourselves of our health, it affects how we look and leads to premature ageing. So to make the most of what nature has bestowed upon us we have to approach this from the inside, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is my holistic approach to achieving the best we can be.

When I mention spiritually I am not talking about a specific religion or set of beliefs, for every religion mentions the spiritual side of us and in holistic therapies, which is the approach of this blog, we are mind, body and spirit, essentially we are spirit within a human body. If we tackle this part of us we will achieve inner harmony and that will reflect on the outside and give us that beautiful glow.

It's also about achieving inner confidence, we can achieve this by caring for ourselves, good grooming is not being vain, far from it, its about maintaining our health, caring for our hair, nails and feet and keeping them free from infection. When we feel good about ourselves, we feel good about others, it raises our self esteem and gives us a buzz.

TAROT CLASS

A SIMPLE THREE CARD READING, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Here I am going to explain a sample reading, this is entirely a fictitious reading and keeping it relatively simple three card reading depicting the Past, Present and Future.

In the past position we can see

THE HIGH PRIESTESS, this card normally shows up when I am dealing with a client who is very intuitive. Assuming for the purpose of this reading the client is female, this shows she has always had an ability to rely on her intuition and being in the past position its always worked for her and she has trusted this. This card also shows me she is intelligent and wily so she has the power to adapt and change if need be to work things her way.

In the present position we have

THE TOWER, this card often shows up when it feels as if your world is collapsing all around you and many assume this can be negative, but not necessarily so. It certainly means a change and a big one at that but sometimes change is necessary to get what you want. True it often shows at life changing events but change and the collapse of the old can be positive, this is especially apparent in the next card.

In the future position we see

THE STAR, I always view this card as being very positive, it depicts Pandora opening the box letting out all pestilence to man, however we see the most important content of the box has remained and that is hope. This card is sometimes known as the wish card, so its one that shows up when you have a wish and a dearest hope something will work out.

Conclusion

Reading all the cards together we can see this client is very intuitive and she's always trusted it in the past however she is going through some big change and its made her very insecure and shes lost track of her inner guidance. She needs to believe and trust in herself, I know everything is going to work out for her as this is indicated by the Star and no matter how difficult the changes she is going through its all going to work out for the best and her wish for the future will be realised

Now obviously being a sample reading I haven't got a real situation to work this reading to but I am sure this will give an indication on how to interpret the cards. Bear in mind also every reader has their own way of interpretation, this is the way I interpret the Mythic Tarot

AVENTURINE AND AMETRINE

Some tumbled Aventurine crystals

AVENTURINE

Is an ideal crystal to help you attract good fortune, Aventurine is the best crystal for luck of all kinds, including gambling luck. This green stone has various names, such as "gambler's stone" and "Indian Jade," and because of its reputation as a lucky talisman, is very popular with gamblers. From the Italian per aventura the Aventurine means "by chance." This again is because of its strong association with good luck and chance.
Like all crystals, the Aventurine has strong healing properties and is used by many people for magical and spiritual purposes.
The Healing Properties of Aventurine are thought to have universal healing properties over mental, physical and emotional aspects and is linked to the heart Chakra and so helps particularly well with regeneration, such as after heart surgery or heart attacks. Like Rose Quartz Aventurine is beneficial for healing where matters of the heart are concerned, such as heartbreak, loss and separation. Beneficial more matters of the heart if used together with Rose Quartz
This crystal is good in spell work and rituals linked to financial good luck, general good luck, healing and purifying, and for attracting good fortune and abundance. It is also known to help in promoting confidence, developing one's creative side, and developing leadership abilities. Though Citrine is also a good crystal for attracting financial benefits

In Spiritual Purposes this Aventurine crystal has important spiritual purposes. It is an ideal crystal for promoting balance and calm and so is particularly effective for meditations. It is well known in its ability to calm anxiety and reduce the possibility of panic and panic attacks. It is also known to regulate the heart rhythm, strengthen resolve and motivation, and also helps to reveal inner secrets such as what makes you really happy and what makes you sad. Significantly, this crystal can induce psychic dreams, provide glimpses of the future, answer questions, and increase psychic powers.

AMETRINE
is a rare and unusual stone which occurs in quartz when amethyst and citrine reside in the same crystal. Because the color zoning effect is natural, no two ametrines will ever be exactly alike. Ametrine being a combination of amethyst and citrine, two stones which are in many ways opposite in characteristics. Yet opposing does not mean incompatible, as we see when we look at the colors of these two stones. Amethyst's purple and citrine's yellow are opposite each other on the color wheel; yet are called complementary, meaning that they enhance each other, and are considered by artists to be excellent colors to use together.We can find this same kind of complementary relationship in the properties of citrine and amethyst. Citrine relates to the third chakra, which is associated with self-esteem and personal power. Citrine helps us to balance these energies so that self-esteem isn't inflated into egotism, nor personal power turned into domination of others.

Amethyst is one of the sixth-chakra stones. The sixth chakra relates to going within, to intuition, psychic development, and dreams. It is an energy center which is connected to the transition from ordinary consciousness to a deeper spiritual awareness, and amethyst is the principal stone used to assist in this transition. With this background, we can see that ametrine can be the ideal stone for someone who wants to:

• have self-confidence in the sense of valuing his/her uniqueness and particular purpose
• develop and use personal power for the greater good, and especially for spiritual reasons
• appreciate that we exist in a perpetual dance between physical and spiritual realities

Ametrine is very helpful in getting rid of depression. This leads to inner peace and tranquility. Many believe that it contains the powers of amethyst and citrine in one stone, making it a very powerful money stone as well as an excellent via to higher psychic awareness and spiritual enlightenment. Ametrine is among an elite group of gems, because as of now there is just one source of this treasure in the world.

ANOTHER SAMPLE READING

This is a simple three card spread and an ideal way for beginners in Tarot.

Starting at the left which denotes the past position we have 'the Magician', with my method of reading the Tarot we have a card of choices and which direction to go. It is a card of power and one that states you cannot go wrong here basically all roads lead to Rome so the querient can do anything he or she chooses, he/she can make anything happen and whatever choice he/she makes it wont be a wrong one.

Middle card and the present position of the querient, this pertains to career as wands to me relates to work/career issues. We see the querient's career taking off and venturing into the future although unknown we know from the first card he/she will be OK with the choice they have made. The sun is rising to a bright future this is a card of excitement and there is no longer any holding back the flood gates have no opened and there is no stopping the querient with what he/she wants to do.

The final card denotes the future 'The three of cups'. This card is a card of celebration it can pertain to any kind of celebration as everyone is happy and toasting the querient, its a highly positive card. What draws my eye is the winged god Apollo flying into the picture and the celebration, cups generally pertains to relationships so it's someone coming back into the querient's life to join in the celebration and everyone is so happy for the querient.

Putting the reading together, the querient had to make choices in his or her life it wasn't easy and tough decisions had to be made and the querient debated and worried about making the wrong choice. However they need not have worried for they had the power along to do right whatever direction they chose. They were protected and charmed and always will be. I feel here moving into the present the decisions that were made by the querient pertained to their career and if they weren't aware it is about to take off and lead to more and new things, it's a period of bubbling excitement and although this can be fearful, venturing into the unknown is fearful but only because it's unknown. Lastly the future and the celebration and the fruition of the work that's been done in the past, here are the rewards, I say rewards the plural for there are two things afoot for the querient. There is the celebration and fruition of past career choices and there is someone coming back as in a relationship to join in the celebrations. However the querient is largely unaware of this he/she is celebrating the career decision unaware of what is unfolding. This is double joy and the rewards are great.

Hi there,

Thank you for your hard work, Astridestella is an important resource.

Modern medicine is capable of many things in our present day; medical technology can perform near miracles. However, the Nobel Prize award in medicine may have been incorrectly attributed to the wrong researcher. A lawsuit was just filed in a California court by a Chinese doctor seeking proper credit for his work on a potentially world-changing regenerative medicine therapy. This is the first time in history that the Nobel Prize Assembly has been sued:

Dr. Xu’s work has implications in many medical fields, including helping severe burn victims, fighting autoimmune diseases, and potentially assisting in the fight against cancer. Dr. Xu asserts that his technology is a natural means of achieving the results as opposed to the artificial techniques employed by the competition. It’s only proper that his hard work should be given all proper recognition and credit. I think you and your readers would find this interesting, especially given the gravity and nature of the work. Would you post this, or give it a spot on your site? I’m working with MEBO International to get the word out about this story – please contact me if you can help!

Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work!

TRUE BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN

Becoming beautiful inside is what radiates beauty evergreen.
This means looking at ourselves as people and reflecting what makes us who we are. Remember the world does not owe us a living, we are what we ourselves have created. Ask yourself, "Do I like who I am?" "Am I a good person?" When you give "of" yourself and start loving people in a unconditional way, liking them without being judgmental you begin to radiate beauty from within, you radiate it from your soul. It is through this you will achieve "Inner Beauty".

BLOG REVIEW

Who Is Maggie Brown?

Maggie Brown, webmaster of “The Truly Holistic Blog” is an author, writer, poet, and psychic. As a lecturer in Holistic Studies with a nursing background, she blogs on topics such as reflexology, aromatherapy and Indian therapy with the reverence and perspective of a Reiki master.

The Truly Holistic Blog, AstrideStella.info

The Truly Holistic Blog, www.AstrideStella.info is a bit overwhelming in that there is so much offered it is hard to decide where to go first. Whether you want to learn more about homeopathic health to quit smoking or control your diabetes or the art of reading tea leaves you will find it on this holistic blog. The post on “What is Wicca?” was enlightening to me. What I got is that Wicca is a recognized religion that is basically the “awe” of life.

It is a peaceful and harmonious way of life that promotes oneness with the world and creator.

Holistic Approach To Life

Maggie’s blog topics are all-encompassing in the holistic approach to life. For example, I learned in the post “Mercury In Retrograde” that the planet Mercury which appears in the morning or early evening sky at times looks like it is going backwards. This optical illusion is called retrograde and the astrological phenomenon causes few issues here on earth. To avoid problems during this period it is good to:

Avoid signing legal documents.

Avoid closing big deals.

Avoid meetings that require big decisions.

Allow extra time while traveling.

It sounds kind of like Feng Shui to me! This type of holistic advice permeates the entire site. Anyone interested in living a healthy life without drugs would benefit from visiting “The Truly Holistic Blog“.
